Moganshan: A Serene Mountain Retreat Near Hangzhou

Nestled within the Tianmu Mountains just 60 kilometers north of Hangzhou, Moganshan offers a peaceful refuge from the pace of nearby cities.

Originally favored by European colonists in the early 20th century as a cool summer getaway from Shanghai’s heat, Moganshan has recently regained attention thanks to Mark Kitto’s book China Cuckoo.

Surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes and lush bamboo forests, the area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts keen on hiking or cycling through breathtaking natural scenery.
